As far as AI goes, I'm going to be using it for facial detection in my photos, maybe some tagging, and maybe local voice recognition.
As far as generative models go, no thanks. There is nothing I need generated.

It is going to have an impact in Turkey and Syria, but the current US administration doesn't think about consequences, or think much at all.

If we're going specific then to me a material is a combination of textures and (these days) a shader which is used to display it.
Likewise a model is a combination of meshes and materials which represents a thing.
Although I would say that different engines and tech artists would have their own definitions for these things.

What's the difference between a mesh and a model, or an asset and a resource?

This war is all about infantry, drones, and artillery. Russia still has plenty of those things. It keeps getting them from it's allies, and is willing to keep mobilising more men to fight.
If Russia losses the war or stops fighting early it is doomed economically and therefore politically, the people at the top will keep going until continuing and losing have the same result, going for any sort of victory they can claim.

Unfortunately this war will continue for at least another 2 years.
Neither side can admit defeat because doing so well cause their collapse so they will keep fighting into they do collapse.

UE5 is good for making demos, and Epic is good at marketing.

If you have an AMD chip you can actually reinstall Windows 10 if you want to. It will give you a year of support still.
Unfortunately you need Windows 11 for the non-uniform Intel processor cores to function well.

It's not related to Intel 13th and 14th generation issues?
